The five books of the (then) increasingly inaccurately named "The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy" trilogy. To Kill A Mockingbird The "Wheel Of Time" series.
Yep To Kill a Mockingbird, part of the English Exam at school back in the day, read it once a year at least........Worn the original book out, and had to buy another one.
Astounding when you think that English wasn't Conrad's first language ..... ..... Hell , it wasn't even his second language ! He learnt French before he learnt English !
To stand beside @ILikeBears I do also love the Bourne books, but only those actually written by Robert Ludlum and the Jack Reacher series by Lee Child. Would not normally say these were guilty pleasures but in the company of many of the books being quoted on this thread they feel like it. The Bourne Identity especially is a fantastic book (if you have never read it), much better than the film.
